A fantastic performance from the Sudurpaschim Royals. Putting up a match winning total after losing the toss and then a near-perfect bowling performance to restrict the Yaks despite David Miller going berserk on his NPL debut!
Dipendra Singh Airee (Sudurpaschim Royals Captain): "(On the good start given by his openers) Yes, that was the reason we were losing too many wickets in the powerplay in our earlier games. So, it was really good batting today. The two openers put together a very good partnership in the powerplay.
(On bowling against David Miller) There wasn't much to worry about because the wicket was turning. That's why, during the middle overs, Tharindu and I bowled really well. We both bowled off-spin, and the ball was turning, which made it difficult for the batters."

Sompal Kami (Karnali Yaks Captain): "[on what went wrong today] If we were to chase this total, we have to win the powerplay. We are not doing good in the powerplay. We have 3 more games, we will come back stronger.
[on what he wants to change for the upcoming games] I just want to change the attitude, nothing much."

David Miller (POTM): "(On the knock) Yeah, firstly, thank you. It was obviously nice to play that kind of innings, but it's never nice to lose. I think everyone could see that it's a pretty slow wicket, but it does turn. So, it's all about getting yourself into a good position, playing the ball nice and late, and either getting well forward or going right back. You have to commit fully to your shots. Towards the end, I was just having a bit of fun, and I happened to be well set, so it was really cool.
(On coming to bat up in the order) No, I've actually opened the innings at number four earlier in my career, and I've gradually moved down the order as my career has progressed. The management came to me and suggested that I bat at number four, and I grabbed the opportunity with both hands.
(On HD Ackerman) Yeah, the big HD Ackerman. I played with him towards the back end of his career, and he's definitely taught me a lot about playing spin and thinking about the game. So, it was really good to see him."
